Monday
Boxercise class - not for my taste - not cardio enough to keep me constantly busy and full of adrenaline, not slow enough to keep me happy - won't go again
10 min on the treadmill - maybe not quite because I've randomly hit the emergency stop button at about 8 minutes or so.

Spinning class was fab. Now that I actually figured out how to set it to challenge myself without going out of breath too quickly, I'm cycling pretty much through the whole class (45 min) - only the last sprint or two are a bit too much.

Not in the gym, but I cycled to town and back. I might stop including "commute" cycling into these write-ups, cycling is the way I move around town.

Anyway, the gym has a small swimming pool - 17m (or so it's described as online). When I went there today it was pretty much empty, most of the time I was the only person using it. Fab!
